I'm also a bit confused about Dave's mention of monad straight away afterwards: there doesn't seem to be one used anywhere I look at the source (although I'm not looking that hard). Is it a mistake or am I missing something? Did you check out some sources from [1]? Those ought to satisfy your interest to some degree. Thanks PS: There seem to be comments here and there in Polish with broken encoding. [1]: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Applications_and_libraries/Games -- Mateusz K.
